2025-2026 – BUS Schedule and HHS Late Bus Schedule

Do you live too close to qualify for a school bus (within 2 miles), consider taking the free MEVA! Routes 15 and 16 will get you to school on time. They stop where you are along the route (as long as it’s safe to do so), and drop you off on Monument Street in front of the school! No more excuses, take the public transport! They are also going to stop at the end of the day and wait until 2:15 to depart, to give the kids time to get to their bus.

• Best Buddies first meeting will be on October 2 but they need to come to A15 to get a form to sign up

Starting Monday 9/15 Rosemont Street is going to be shut down for one year due to bridge construction.
Quite a few students use that route (as well as buses that are going to be rerouting) to get to school.
To bypass this students can go through downtown or take 495, or, worst case, go further north and swing down past Levitt’s Ice Cream.
At a minimum if this affects your commute I would plan on an extra 10-15 minute drive to school.

As part of the District’s 1:1 initiative, every Haverhill Public Schools student receives a HPS-issued Chromebook. HPS offers the opportunity to protect school-issued devices for the school year by paying a Device Waiver Fee. As outlined in the HPS Student Technology Device Policy, this $20 fee will help to cover the costs of potential damage, repair, or loss for the school year for the assigned device. Click below for more information.

Please fill out this form to sign up!

HPS offers the opportunity to protect school-issued devices for the school year by paying a Device Waiver Fee. As outlined in the HPS Student Technology Device Policy, this $20 fee will help to cover the costs of potential damage, repair, or loss for the school year for the assigned device. Please note: issues of theft should still be reported to the police. The $20 covers 1 student for 1 school year. So families with more than one student will have to sign each student up separately. Some of the replacement costs are as follows:

Charger – $39
LCD Screen – $80
Top/Bottom Cover – $30-$35
Keyboard $70
Trackpad $15

On July 25, 2024 the School Committee unanimously approved the new cell phone policy at the high school to help students focus on learning while in class, to increase student engagement, and to prevent coordinated events while in class. The policy states that cell phones (and other electronic devices) must be turned off and cell phones must be put into the designated classroom container or on silent in a backpack. No cell phone use is allowed while out on a hall pass during class time.

Students will still be able to check their phones between classes or during lunch but families can call the main office to reach students if an emergency arises.

Working as a team to implement this policy will make concerns about staff confiscating phones a non-issue as we are giving students the same message to have phones away during class times. Again, this policy is to help with learning, maintain better safety, and protect the dignity of students in moments that may be out of their control.

Additionally, Haverhill High School staff is expected to model this policy as well and will not have cell phones out during instructional times in class. Thank you for your support and cooperation as we work together to create the best possible learning environment.

Spotlight on our HHS Summer Interns!  We recently celebrated our summer interns as they delivered their final presentations and received certificates of completion. Surrounded by parents, administrators, worksite mentors, and teachers, our students were recognized for their growth and professionalism.

We are grateful to our business partners for making these opportunities possible: Baystate Physical Therapy, Bethany Communities, Elizabeth Calsey House, Greater Lawrence Family Health Center, HC Media, HPS IT Department, Haverhill DPW, Hydracor, Lawrence General Hospital, Lowell General Hospital, Martinos Center, Rapid Coatings Inc, Sarah’s Place, UMass Lowell Propel, and YMCA. Congratulations to all of our interns on a successful summer!
